just talked to one of our system admins. he said: whatever OS shopping system they use should be up & running again in less than 2 hours. if not, change the admin, hosting service, shopsystem or use an application accelerator. (we use: http://www.crescendonetworks.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
if anyone at OG is interested, i can offer our 34MBIT connected RedHat Linux Cluster with 6 Dell Power Edge 1950 double Dual Core 2.66GHz & 4GB RAM Webservers, for one of their next releases for free! just let me know!
well not really for free, i have to bribe my chief technician with some cigarettes & a bottle of gin.... :lol:

Anyone that's bored while waiting should watch the "Italian Spiderman" series on YouTube. Blows away the American movies in both plot and special effects. Do a few bongloads first though, or you won't be able to handle the intensity.

Anyone ever put an old engine in a new car? I realize this probably isn't the best analogy, but it's pretty easy to understand. When OG upgraded to new servers, they kept their old cart and old code. So they have this monster cart churning and doing nothing 'til it kicks you out to PP (which has it's own cart) so, now you are essential a cart within a cart. The old engine that was put in the new car doesn't have the same bells and whistles the new engine would have. They can try to bypass the old cart and kick you straight to PP or they can implement a new cart. Either way, I'm sure they are working as hard as they can to solve the problem.

One advantage of the delay is that all these nice tidy prints are probably all rolled and ready for delivery when the site is able to sell them. So, the lucky winners who fight the burning ring of fire might actually get their prints earlier than they normally might ('except california).

They probably realise they got Fk all to sell lately so might as well make the shop appear to be busy.

I'd sure appreciate an update on this drop if it's not going to happen today. If there's no update then I assume they are working on the problem and will drop it immediately after it's fixed sometime today. Right?

I think since this drop has been such a mess that OG will give a heads up on the main page of what is gonna go down. They don't want to infuriate people anymore by making a random drop.

I think it's the opposite. They bog down BECAUSE they give a heads up. I expect a random drop.

At the very least, OG could implement something like Audrey Kawasaki's new store:

https://www.audrey-kawasaki.com/sale/

"If this page does not automatically reload at 1:00 pm PST, you may manually refresh your browser. Please refrain from continuously refreshing your browser before the sale time — doing so will cause a decrease in site performance for yourself and others."

With an automatic refresh, everyone wouldn't feel the need to sit there and F5 away...
